St Peter`s Church was built in the 13th century and it may be the case that the churchyard has been used for burials since that time. Some of the more wealthy and prominent members of the parish have taken the option of interment inside the church.
The churchyard is divided into two sections. The lower section is the original part of the churchyard and it is here where the oldest graves are located. At first glance it might appear that there are several areas where there are no graves, in fact some of the older graves are not marked with a headstone today. A possible explanation for some of these situations is that the relatives could not afford the expense of a headstone and the grave may have been originally marked by a wooden cross.
